A week of Xbox fun

While my MediaServer implementation is still in it's very infancy, I was already asked by more than two people if it will work with Xbox. I didn't have a clue since I don't have an Xbox so I asked Naba if i can visit him on some weekend to find some clues but he was kind enough to lend it for a week instead. For the past one week I had been having lots of fun with it. This nice page by Frank Scholz gave me headstart and I was able to get Xbox see my MediaServer rather sooner. The only other achievement I had in the whole week is that Xbox is able to see the videos but can't play it (most probably because I don't give it all the metadata it requests).

The good thing is that now i have a very good idea of what Xbox expects from my MediaServer and I am very hopeful on getting my MediaServer working with Xbox at some point. Here is the log of all the SOAP messages I get from Xbox for anyone interested.

Karl Lattimer is my hero

I just can't help but appreciate how this dude comes to my desk and solves my complicated problem within minutes. My python problems were all solved when he removed the link (/usr/bin/python) to absolute path (/usr/bin/python2.5) and recreated it, only this time using relative path. Either he is too smart or I am too stupid. :)

python strikes back

The joy of getting my python problems fixed on my debian testing were short lived. This time when i ran `apt-get dist-upgrade`, apt failed saying:


ValueError: /usr/bin/python does not match the python default version. It must be reset to point to python2.4
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/python-uno_1%3a2.4.0-5_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/deskbar-applet_2.22.1-1_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/python-ctypes_1.0.2-4_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


So removed the link to python2.5 and recreated it but this time pointing to pythong2.4. It should fix the problem, right? No! here is what apt says now:


ValueError: /usr/bin/python does not match the python default version. It must be reset to point to python2.5
